FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERYTIME I FILL MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL IT WILL CLICK THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP AND THEN PUKE FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. APPROX. A QUART IF NOT CAREFUL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON. EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SHOOTS OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY PUMP I'VE TRIED. GOING SLOW AT THE END DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ENOUGH FUEL COMES OUT THAT I USUALLY HAVE TO MOP IT UP OFF THE GROUND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER (TJ), GAS HAS COME SHOOTING OUT OF THE INLET FOR THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE. I AM *NOT* ATTEMPTING TO 'TOP OFF' MY FUEL TANK, THIS OCCURS IN THE NORMAL PROCESS OF FILLING MY TANK UP. TODAY'S INCIDENT (12/23/2009) IS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS IT WAS ME EXCEEDING THE FILL LIMIT OF THE TANK ('TOPPING OFF') BECAUSE I WAS USING THE 'AUTO FILL' SWITCH ON THE GAS NOZZLES HANDLE. HOWEVER, AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT IN TWO MONTHS I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPLAINT WITH LATER MODEL JEEP VEHICLES. TO THIS DATE AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL OR WARNING CONCERNING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVED WITH THE SPLASH BACK OF FUEL WHICH CAN HIT THE PERSON FILLING UP THE TANK; AND BECAUSE THE SPLASH BACK COVERS THE REAR CORNER PANEL OF THE JEEP AFTER IT HAPPENS, LEADING TO A FIRE HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED CHRYSLER, BUT I WILL BE DOING THAT TODAY AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 06 RUBICON UNLIMITED WRANGLER. BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS PUMPING THE GAS WILL SPILL OUT FROM THE FILLER TUBE. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLAGE CAN BE UP TO ABOUT A QUART. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS REPAIR WOULD NO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE HAVING FUEL RUSH OUT OF THE FILLING NOZZLE WHILE PUMPING GAS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOESN'T WORK AND THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL PUMPS AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, NOT THE PUMPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MOST OF THE TIME WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND PRIOR TO THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS FUEL STATIONS AND VARIOUS TYPES OF PUMPS. IT APPEARS THAT JEEP IS CLAIMING THIS IS A "NORMAL" WEAR ITEM WHEN IN FACT IT ISN'T. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH SIGNIFICANT RISK INVOLVED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK NORMALLY AND NOT TOPPING IT OFF, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP CAN SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK SPILLING GAS ON MYSELF AND ON THE GROUND. THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID IT UNLESS I DO NOT FILL THE TANK UP. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM INDICATING THAT IT'S A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE YET CHRYSLER DENIES THAT IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW. IT HAPPENS REGULARLY, APPROXIMATELY 1 IN EVERY 5 FILLS. IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS USING DIFFERENT PUMPS. MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND INSPECTED WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR $50.00. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. A LOCAL MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND LATER STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED AND BALANCED FOR $20.00. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

STEERING
1. NORMAL ROAD DRIVING, 3000 MILES AFTER PURCHASING A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JEEP WRANGLER (19700 MILES TOTAL ON VEHICLE), LEAD TO THE VEHICLE BECOMING DANGEROUSLY OUT OF CONTROL AT AROUND 50MPH. THE STEERING VIBRATIONS WERE SO SEVERE, THAT THE JEEP COULD HARDLY BE STEERED. 2. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES IN A 7 DAY SPAN, WITH THE LAST INCIDENT BEING THE MOST SEVERE. 3. I PERSONALLY RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND IT TO BE CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE', AND APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A FLAWED DESIGN ON JEEP AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, AND WAS BILLED IN EXCESS OF $1,000. A NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND FRONT BUSHING KIT WAS INSTALLED. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
FIRST I STARTED TO HAVE A LOUD RATTLING SOUND WHEN I AM IDLING, NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR NOISE, BUT I COULD REPLACE THE THROW OUT BEARING TO MAKE IT QUIETER. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I STARTED HEARING A LOUD WHISTLING SOUND WHEN MY JEEP IS COASTING AND ABOVE 2000 RPMS WITH THE CLUTCH OUT. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME IT'S NORMAL. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK 2 TIMES, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I'M STILL HAVING THE NOISE AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF A FIX FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST KEEP SAYING IT'S NORMAL. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX!!! *TR
